REFLECTION
I absolutely enjoyed this project! It was a lot of fun, especially doing it with some of my classmates. It took us awhile to stop laughing an actually record it right. That's what made this experience that much better. It was not that too difficult to make the voice thread however, the actual website was a bit confusing. With the help of a few classmates working together, we figured out who to work it.

I think this would be a wonderful activity to include in my future classroom. In the future I hope to work with elementary grade levels, and this type of activity would be great. It is important to have children expand their types of learning skills. Technology is becoming more and more important in society, so by having a project such as the voice thread, will help students expand there knowledge. Overall this is such a creative and fun way to incorporate technology into the classroom!
